Bump. Removed the question marks from a few rules as I encountered enough situations for me to fully confirm that those rules are still active. The list/thread is somewhat complete although good suggestions and new rules as they come out will be added. Made a few minor changes to the text (removed or changed) to reflect that.
Do you happen to have a list of changes? Improbable, I know, but I have to try  . It's for updating the spanish translation. Yeah, would be nice for the german translation too. I can see there are no question marks any more. Yeah, no question marks. I updated the text above the "Forum rules" title to: The list is somewhat complete but I still will be adding rules as I encounter them. I'm open to suggestions on formatting, sources, mistakes, rules, removal from the list, etc. Removed the text at the bottom of the FAQ, above the guidelines as questions are more or less done, unless I find a good one. That's it, I think. Haven't made any important changes so didn't think that a changelog would be needed. |

Banned. Clearly impersonating the admin, even if he wouldn't have sent the PM.

So, every now and then I see a post about the beauty of a decentralized exchange. Well here's the thing. You can't get USD on a Decentralized Exchange, adding new coins to trade will always be a headache, and since there won't be any censorship, scamming with new, random, 2 day old altcoins with be abundant, among other things
Decentralized Exchanges sound good in theory, but in practice it just isn't plausible.
I have no experience in directly dealing with decentralized exchanges but I see several things that I would like to address (that in fact ties in with any place where you trade): since there won't be any censorship, scamming with new, random, 2 day old altcoins with be abundant, among other things That's why you use common sense and avoid shady coins. Aside from that, the idea of decentralized exchange is like the idea of cryptocurrencies: you have to keep trying to come up with that one mechanism that works and has the least issues possible. |

So I checked blockchain.info's unconfirmed transaction page.
There are currently about 2k (increasing rapidly) unconfirmed transactions and a total of .05 in fees (not increasing rapidly at all) are offered with all of those transactions.
Thats about .000025 in fees per transaction.
Gee, I wonder why it takes a while for them to confirm?
That's the average that's lowered by transactions with no fees that wouldn't be confirmed for a long time or ever at all anyway. If many transactions included in that statistic has equal or above recommended fees, we could have a powerful "selfish" miner problem. EDIT: Beat me by a few mins, davejh.  |

They've been treatning with bans since the begining and nothing happens.
I wouldn't worry too much about a Hong Kong ban .. It would have a boomerang effect.. ban something and people become curious about it. They could be really vague about it, not mentioning the name but rather targeting some sort of key functionality or just naming it as "virtual currency". Though it would still attract at least a bit of attention from those that actually decide to google the matter so guess that's true to some extent. |

How many people was arrested? Oh, 1.5 million according to the wikipedia. Here is global research for you about the USA. http://www.globalresearch.ca/u-s-prison-population-dwarfs-that-of-other-nations/8801It has 751 people in prison or jail for every 100,000 in population. So, if population of USA is 320 million and it has 751 in prison or jail for every 100,000 it means that 2.4 million people are sitting nowadays in USA.. Got it? 1.5 vs. 2.4 So why the time when 1.5 million people are arested in USSR called "Great Purge" and the same situation in USA, when the number of people is 2.4 million, called democracy? What is that? Double standards? The USA is a police state. But not in the sense of a form of government which "exercises power arbitrarily through the police" (though this is debatable per se). It is a police state since without strong law enforcement agencies ready to open fire without a second thought there would soon be chaos and anarchy in the streets of this state. We see this happening everywhere whenever there is no more "strong hand" controlling general public. New Orleans as the most obvious example in real life and The Purge in fiction. I do agree that the US has problems with their police facilities, as in mainly solving issues with brutality. However, that's what elections, protests and demonstrations are for, to remind the government that you are still in charge. US has to be careful in maintaining order due to the amount of cultures, religions and customs clashing with one another. If the control was lax, the society would fracture into either religious, political or national groups ruling over regions where there are most inhabitants fitting their selected ideology. However, let's keep the discussion on-topic and discuss the issues with the US government in a thread meant for said discussionWhy did you write this? No one here discusses "the issues with the US government" in isolation. Your remark is actually more off-topic here than the part it refers to. I mentioned this to remind everyone so that it wouldn't end up in a discussion that I described. |

How do you know? Did you saw their probable causes? Did you saw the files of prisoners? Who tell you that? I did. There's a museum in my country in which some files that the soviets didn't take with them when they felt that USSR was ending remain. I saw the photocopied files. And one more thing. You can believe it or you can ignore it. I do not care. I live in Russia and no one from my big family (mom's parents have like gazillion kids, brothers and sisters and father's too) no one was sitting in the prison or camp. In fact, my great-grandad was a kulak (people like to tell that Stalin arrested all kulaks), my grandad was religious man and had a bad thoughts about Jospeh Vessarionovich. And they say that they didn't heard anything about Gulags or Camps until the 90s and so-called freedom of speech. I think that is the best example of how "Bad-bad Stalin surpression". Guess they were either smart to keep their mouths shut or lucky enough not to have been friends with KGB agents. However, many weren't so lucky. Funny fact, but the largest anti-soviet liar (Alexandr Solzhenitcyn) was sponsored by USA and printed in... YMCA. Great, right? Tell me more about financed propaganda =) Might be. USSR was an enemy of the US - it would be more than logocal for them to sponsor those that oppose it. I'm not saying the US is a completely innocent, I'm saying that USSR was ruled by a totalitarian regime that disproved freedom of speech and thought. You can base on facts when you really saw them. You can base on facts, when you have a right statistics. You can base on facts, when you was in the same situation. I mean that of course there were camps and gulags in USSR. Of course there were a people inside and I can agree that sometimes conditions wasn't royal (like in US correctional facilities lol). But it wasn't as big as you may think. And it wasn't so bloody. Nobody will arrest you just because you think different. People were arrested because of money, power and law-crossing. That's what I believe. Sadly, I have relatives and close friends of those relatives that would say different. Some were more fortunate and were just interrogated and let go, others got to experience the conditions that "wasn't royal". They just used different words to describe that. Regarding the statistics, I base my opinions on what most of the world has agreed upon. Not sure what kind of statistics you base yours. That is what I'm talking about! I agree with you and with your opinion about strong hand. I'm just sick of people who call Russia's strong hand as totalitarian gulag system. I'm not talking nor was I talking about Russia's current government. I was talking about USSR. |
